Where do you look for a new manager? If you are West Ham United it seems you look everywhere. That is surely a good thing and the only way in which they could have drawn up a ‘short’list of 30 candidates.
Thirty seems an enormous amount, and a little confused. You imagine a good boardroom thinking of a couple of candidates and doing their best to persuade. Five at the most.
Not West Ham though, different ideas with them. Given that Slaven Bilic has been touted as the man they really want, the fact it would not be hard to multiply the £125,000 yearly wage the Croatian FA give him and that he is a former player it must be a blow to hear that he is not interested.
Harry Redknapp and Stuart Pearce have also ruled themselves out of the running leaving the bookies’ favourite to be none other than fascist golden boy Paolo Di Canio.
The Mussolini supporting former darling of Upton Park has made it clear that he would love the job as much as he would like an Italy free of foreigners. He would be more entertaining than Alan Curbishley, that is a certainty but he would surely have to tone down his far right views back in London.

We can only dream of tears and some of the best post-match interviews yet.
